Darrin-
I believe the car is high enough to slide the power train from under it, but
I'm not sure. The front is on drive-up ramps and the rear is resting on
approximately 20" piers I made by stacking pieces of pressure treated 4x4s
in alternating pairs (kind of hard to explain). Anyway, the car is about
20" off the ground at the jack points (just forward of rear wheel wells). I
do have a pair of jack stands too but I wasn't too confident in their
reliability.
Do you know if 20" from the ground to the jack points is enough clearance?
If not, I can add to my piers.
-Mike

Michael,
Finally, a tech session consisting of something I have done before...and
recently. Should be no problem at all. Always good to have a Finch cart to
roll the powertrain around on, but with more than four adults, we should be
able to place it wherever you like.
Is the rear of the car on jack stands at sufficient height?

Darrin/ Everyone-
I can't speak for the availability of the tool you're looking for but to say
I don't have it. I can answer the question about the project for this
meeting. If possible, I'd like to drop the power train out of my '61 coupe.
I'm rather proud to say that I took care of all the preparation for that job
this past weekend. I used a very descriptive power train removal
instruction pamphlet that I purchased from Clark's and I believe all that
needs to be done is removing the 3 mounting bolts and lowering the power
train.
I'll have 2 or 3 scissor jacks along with my floor jack and a sturdy wooden
board to lower the thing. I'm open for suggestions on any other tools
needed.
The ride out to Rockville is a little longer than usual. I'll try to reward
those who make it with some good refreshments. See you Saturday morning.
Thanks.

Hello all,
Does anybody who will come to the meeting on Saturday own this tool?
I noted the recent discussion on VV and should also note that my sad attempt
at oiling the old bearing seems to be having little effect. I want to try
this approach if there is a loaner tool out there. Could even do this at
the meeting, as, suprisingly, I will be driving a Corvair to attend, sketchy
bearing and all.
See you all on Sat.
BTW, what is the project for this meeting? Any tools I can bring?
Darrin
